Hati-Hati!


Or translated into the English language.... Caution! or Be Careful!!
A friend of ours found this little number up the street from us and came and got Chris to take care of it. We were not sure if it was poisonous or not, so Chris took it across the street and asked some worker guys if it was. The all took a step back and said HATI-HATI!! We took that as a "YES"!
Chris was going to chuck it over the fence, but because we have the "HoChiMin" trail behind our house, I told him it would be better if we buried it.  Better to be safe than to have someone step on it.  And because of our snake training from watching all those Discovery snake shows, snakes are still venomous after they are dead!
It is also very much uncommon to find snakes up this high.  It is too cold for them, and there is no food for them up here.  If a snake is found up here, it is usually because they hitched a ride up on one of the supply trucks.  It is the first that I have seen in over a year of living here.  Hopefully it will be my last!!! :)

Still very much disliking snakes,
Robin
